2 KiNgS 19:35
besides king david and solomon.. 1 other king tt i realli admire is king hezekiah..
durin his reign.. the land of judah was in a total turmoil.. ppl were corrupted in their minds and in their ways.. yet king hezekiah chose 2 trust God and chose 2 serve Him.. it came upon him tt the king of assyria besieged his town and his army strength is much much greater than his.. the assyrian king even insulted and humiliated the LORD tt He has no power 2 save the king of judah from this adversary and even went ard the walls of the city and threatened each individual to surrender their lives to the assyrian king..
when i read this story.. 4 a moment i tot i had a similar situation like him.. so pressed up.. so lost.. and furthermore there seemed 2 b no way out and time again i almost broke down.. time and again i'll b devastated..
but king hezekiah chose 2 seek God and the prophet isaiah prophecied abt the victory tt judah is abt 2 claim.. and 2 kings 19:35 it says, "tt nite.. the angel of the LORD killed 185,000 assyrians and the king was forced 2 withdraw his troops.."
it seems tt whenever there is a major prob tt arises within me.. it was settled not with my own strength nor wif my own might.. it jus happen so naturally tt i wouldn't expect it 2 happen.. time and again i ask God, "y do u chose 2 help me this way??" and he will remind me of the verse tt the angel of God is helpin me 2 fix the situation..
wat can i say?? time and again i've got out of my troubles tt unexpectedly hit me.. i was reminded tt "when we go thru the rivers of difficult.. He will be there for us.. we shall hav no fear.."
